Abstract:

This book examines the unique characteristics of teaching foreign languages to
senior learners. It discusses the potential age-related barriers and learning
difficulties which may be encountered in senior foreign language education as
well as solutions to overcome these challenges. The author describes the
processes of human aging from different perspectives and introduces the
concept of lifelong learning. The book proposes classroom practices,
activities and materials that may be adopted when working with senior learners
which will prove useful to teachers and teacher trainers, as well as to
educational policymakers and planners. Furthermore, it describes potential
modifications to educational programmes that may be introduced in order to
eliminate affective barriers, making the learning material relevant and
motivating, and encouraging the use of adult learning strategies.
